7 following specification and particularly as section of the lining.

pointed out in-the claims thereof, and in'the method of manufacture therein set forth.

Referring to the drawings Figure 1 is a perspectlve vl'w of a leg Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a tubular I knit member from which the foot section of the lining is constructed.

.Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the completed foot section with the toe portion thereon.

Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the com-' pleted lining.

Like numerals refer tolike' parts throughout the several views of the drawings. I

In the drawings, 5 is a tubular section which is preferably cut ofi at one end along the dotted line 6, the leg section thus constructed being preferably of knitted fabric and terminating at its lower end in a plane which is inclined upwardly from the back to the front portion of the leg section.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a tubular member 7,from which the foot section of the lining is manufactured. This. tubular member is preferably of knitted fabric and has angular openings 8 and 9 at the opposite ends thereof. i y i To form the tapered foot section 10. illustrated in Fig. 3, the tubular member 7 is out along the dotted line 11, Fig. 2, to re- 'move the angular opening 9. The side 12 is then brought up to the side 13'of the angular opening 8 and sewed thereto along the line I 14, Fig. 3, thus forming the toe'portion 15 of the foot section. The angularly cut end 11 of the foot-section is then sewed to the angularly cut end6 of the leg section along the line 16, Fig at; v

Inpractice, a tube of the desired diameter is knitted twelve or more feet in length and is then cut into sections to form leg sec- -of this invention.

tions and then trimmed ofi at an angle along the line 6, as illustrated in Fig. 1.

.W R QWN. ,MASSA-Y The foot section 10 isconstruc'ted as hereinferent'parts of the lining of this invention together, it'isto be understood that the parts may be joined together in any well-known manner, such as looping or other suitable manner, without departing from the spirit We claim l. fabric lining for rubber bootsfcom-r i prising a'tubular leg section, and a tapered Ifoot section closed at one end to form a toe 3 by an inclined seam extending partly across I the footsection on the upper side thereof, the foot section being sewed at its rear end to the lower end of said leg section. V

2. A fabric'lining for rubber boots comprising atubular leg section terminating at its lower end at a plane inclined upward ly from the back to the-front portion thereof, and a tapered foot section. closed at one end to form a toe by an inclined seam extending partly across the footsection on the upper side thereof,,the foot section being sewed at its rear end to thelower end of said leg section.

3. The method of manufacturing a lining for a rubber boot which consists in knitting an elongated tubeand cutting the same into sectionsconstituting leg sections, then knitting a tubular member for. a foot section havinganv angular-opening at each end thereof and cutting off one end portion .of

- said'foot section, including its angular openif ing, and at an angle tothe length of said foot section,-thenclos ing the opposite'end of .said foot section by sewing one. side of the angular openingv at that end to 1 the other side of that angular opening to v I form a toe portion, and then sewing the other angularly cut endof the foot portio to one end of one ofsaid legsectionsy 4. The method of manufacturing a lining for a rubber boot which consists in cuttingoff one end of a tubular. section of fabric at an angle to form a legsection, then knithaving an angular l opening at each .end

ting a tubular member for a foot section.

thereof and cutting off one end port-ion of said foot section, including its angular 0pening, and at an angle to the length of said foot-section, then closingthe opposite end of said foot section by sewing one side of the angular opening at that end to the other side of that angular opening to form a toe 1y -cut end of the leg section.

In testimony whereof We have hereunto set our hands.
